COOLIDGE AT WASHINGTON ARE BUOYANT) CORN HIGHER Lively Demand Marks After- noon Trading on New York Exchange NEW YORK, Sept. 9.—Stock Prices moved upward in impressive fashion today in reflection of Wall Street's gratification at the Maine election results, lower time money rates and favorable rafiroad merger developments. Opening gains of 1 to 4% points held up despite occasional flurries of bear selling tn the spectatty lst. Sales approxi- mated 900,000 shares. NEW YORK, Sep, 9.—with the dimination of the uncertainty re- garding the outcome of the Maine election the stock market at today's opening continued the vigorous rise which was in progress at the close yesterday. United States Stecl mounted 1% points on a spread opening. General Electric soared 4% points, American Water Works 4 and New York Central, Raldwin, Mack Truck and United States Cast Iron Pipe 1 to 2% points. The market swung into a spirited rally as transactions of one thou- sand ares or more reflected the heavy volume of buying orders. The advance was accelerated by ac- tive short covering which was added to heavy purchasing for long ac- count by interests which had been awaiting the result of the Maine election. Gains of three points or more were recorded by National Uead, Penn Power and Chandler, with American Can and Willys Overland preferred advancing two points. The upturn in the rail shares was led by Union Pacific, Lackawanna, New York Central, “Nickel Plate’ and Norfolk and Western. Pittsburgh ang West Vir- ginia reached a new high at 104% One point gains were well di tributed throughout the entire list. When the immediate requirements of the short interests had been satis- fied, prices of many of the leaders fell back a point or so on profit tak- ing inspired by the belief that the early advance had been excessive. Chandler ‘ell back three points from its early high and bear selling again developed in some of the spe- cialties which were weak yesterday, particularly Coca Cola, Allied Chem- fecal Union Bag and Paper and American-Sumatra Tobacco pre- ferred, the last named dropping more than three points to a new 1924 low at 23. This selling failed to unsettle the general list and prices wero heading upward again around noon under the leadership of the high grade railroad shares, New York Central, Lackawanna, Norfolk and Western, Canadian Pacific and New Orleans, Texas and Mexico set the pace by moving up 1% to 2% points. Og the rebound General Blectric, American Can and some of the other specialties topped their previous peak prices. Call money again renewed at 2 per cent. The bull forces had the market so well in hand in the afternoon that the: were able to mark up various ly higher, regard- of increased selling in American Woolen, Coca Cola, Daniel Boone Woolen. Mills, Congoleum, and Chandler, the latter reflecting the cut in the dividend. High priced coalers were bouyant, Lackawanna crossing 146 to a new top while Jersey Central was up 6%. The closing was strong. Resump- tion of pool operations in the tobacco shares sent them up 1 to 2 points in the late trading.

The close was unsettled at 4%o net decline to %o advance, December $1.27% to $1.27% and May $1.34 to $1.34%. CHICAGO, Sept. %—Frost in Canada, together with drought in Argentina and higher quotations at Liverpool tended to bring about Price upturns for wheat today dur- ing the early dealings here, Besides, crop damage complaints from France, Germany and Belgium at- tracted considerable notice. How- ever, big deliveries here today on September contracts were a weight on the market, and soon wiped out nearly all the gains, Opening prices, which varied from % to Yc higher, with December $1.28% to $1.28%, and May, $1.34% to $34%, were followed by n ma- terial sag from initial top figures. Subsequently, further declines took place and support from buyers lacked force. Reports of frost gave evident im- betus to buying of corn, After open- ing % to 1%c higher, December, $1.18% to $1.13%, the corn market hardened a little more and then re- acted somewhat. Predictfons of additional frost to- night rallied the market later, and So too, did expectancy that the gov- ernment report as to corn would turn outebullish. The close was strong, Lic to le net higher, De- cember, $1.13% to $1.14. Oats were firmer in sympathy with corn.

Although the wound ts stil;l painful, post doctors said he would be able to continue the flight this morning. Tt was during the height of the re- ception in their honor last night that Lieutenants Smith, Leigh Wade, Arnold and Eric Nelson answered the queries of the newspapermen. They spoke modestly, almost shyly of their achievements, taking little credit to themselves, but each eager to bestow tribute on his compan- fons in adventure, Lieutenant Smith said that while he and his companions were “a bit tired” they were in “fit” condition and despite the hardships of their Journey had not lost weight. The hardest stretch of their flight Lieutenant Smith said, was off the coast of Greenland. He added the expedition was marred by only two forced Jandings; one made by Licu- tenant Wade at sea after having left Kirkwall, the Orkney Islands, and the other at Mere Point, M because of the fog. In this connec- tion he paid a tribute to the Amer ican navy and to the coast guard, 35-MILE WIND AT HOUR OF TAKE-OFF. MITCHELL FIELD, N. Y., Sept. 9.—The United States army round the worid filers hopped oft from Mitchell Field for Washington, at 9:35 o'clock, daylight saving time. The filers took off from the field fn the face of « 35-mile wind. The departure had been delayed for half an hour while Major General M son M. Patrick, chief of the air service, obtained weather reports from Washington by telephor.e. Al- though these reports stated that the skies were overcast and rain was threatening the fliers decided to hop off. After he had received the weather reports, Major General Patrick con- ferred with Lieutenant Lowell Smith leader of the world filers. Licuten- ant Smith satd the fliers were anx- fous to be off, Major General Pat rick then gave his approval to the plans to hop off without delay. The airmen expected to reach Washington in three or four hours, unless the head winds shifted or other unfavorable conditions devel- oped. Scarcely a dozen persons aside from army officials and newspaper men braved the gloom and drizzle today to speed them on their jour- ney. There were no ceremonial pre: Uminaries. Lieutenant Smith met Major General Patrick as he em erged from headquarters with the weather reports. “De we go, general?” anxiously. “Yes, I guess we'ré off,” sald Ma- jor General Patrick. Smith then ran to his machine, shouted to Wade and Nelson ‘let's go” and climbed aboard. He leaned from the cockpit to shout to newspaper men. as the motors were being warbed up: “We're going to shove right ahead from now on, to step on her all the way. We'll probably reach the coast im less than ten days, fter we reach North Platte, Neb., the last scheduled stop, you watch us.
